    Question

    What happens to your weight when you are in a lift which

    goes down?
    A Decreases Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Increases Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Decreases and then increases Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Increases and then decreases Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The weight decreases when the lift moves down and it increases when the lift moves up. As the lift moves down, we observe a pseudo force which acts on the opposite direction of the weight of the body. Hence, the net weight decreases. As the lift moved up, we observe a pseudo force which acts on same direction as that of the weight of the body. Hence, the net weight increases. Hence, option A is correct.
